Default Models

Fooled ya, not female models, but model airplanes.

I just got my first real model airplane. Its a model of the Wright Flyer. Any tips? I'm not going to paint it right away, probobly later on, but I've never done a real one so I'm not sure how to attempt this. How much glue to use? How long to dry? Any other tips? Thanks guys!

I tried when I was a kid, but I was too rough and and kept breaking them. I suck at stuff like that.

This is pretty fun. If you use toenail clippers to clip the pieces off from the nubs, it leaves a nice clean surface.

Use enough glue so that the pieces stick together, but not so much that it goos out the sides.
